I know that this might calm down,
And I know I could sink and not drown
But treading all night’s getting old
And sunrise these days leaves me cold
I know, I can’t turn this around

Cause when I cut your lifeline
I started falling – so far
I couldn’t look back

When I cut your lifeline
You were calling – so hard
I couldn’t shout back

So no more of the long walks through town
And no more talks of who let who down
Though now I’ve said all my goodbyes,
My mind is filled with kind replies
I know, I know.

Cause when I cut your lifeline
I started falling – so far
I couldn’t look back

When I cut your lifeline
You were calling – so hard
I couldn’t shout back

Let it all settle down, let it all settle down

And yet I think I’ll miss you if I fall…

Cause when I cut your lifeline
I started falling – so far
I couldn’t look back

When I cut your lifeline
You were calling – so hard
I couldn’t shout back
